The life of prince Bernhard von Lippe-Biesterfeld is littered with examples of weapons-trade, racketeering, bribery, plundering third world countries and every other criminal activity under the sun. As a recently published book in the Netherlands reveals, the prince was also in the coup d’état business.
The publication ‘HRH: High Stakes at the Court of His Royal Highness‘ by historian Harry Veenendaal and journalist Jort Kelder reveals that Bilderberg-founder prince Bernhard in 1950 attempted to oust the democratically elected government of Indonesia and place himself at the head of the Islands as viceroy.
After careful investigation of both archived diaries of a court secretary and military police reports, the authors come to the conclusion that the prince coordinated the attempted coup d’état with the help of his cronies in the military. The trail of paper finally led the authors to multiple independently written statements from different sources confirming that the Bilderberg-founder had indeed set his sights on the islands, and for himself a coronation to become viceroy in the example of Lord Mountbatten’s viceroy-ship of India during the late 40s. A letter from the prince to general Douglas MacArthur, quoted in the book, reveals that Bernhard envisioned himself ruling over his feudal slaves as a genuine Napoleon.
